No sympathy With Thieves.

There appears TO be a chance for Henry
s. Ives to see the inside Of a penitentiary.
He failed for $l5,000000, and gained con-
siderable notoriety thereby, but he win not
be quite as distinguished as that other
Napoleon of finance, Ferdinand Ward, until
ne has worn the striped garments of con-
vict.
Young Mr.. Ives was rather surprised
when he was arrested for forgery. He
thought that only civil suits would be
brought against him. His mistake may
cost him his liberty. because if he is guilty
of the crime with which he is charged, and
had any suspicion that he was TO be prose-
cuted criminally, he might now be in
Canada.
If Mr.. Ives is really a forger he need ex-
pect no mercy from court or jury. The
public is getting just as tired of the gentle
manly thief who robs bank in his official
capacity, or who betrays the trust reposed
in him, as it is Of the vulgar thief who does
his deeds of wiclledness under the friendly
cover of the night.
Harper, the Cincinnati banker who
wrecked the Fidelity Bank, is already in
the penitentiary. His tears and the tears of
his wife did not soften the hearts of the
jury. If Mr. Ives is guilty of forging, as
alleged, draft for 100000, he will jump
his $4,000 bond and get away to Canada
as quickly as possible if he doesn't want to
join Ward in Sing Sing

OH, SHE WAS A TERROR.
The Man Who Wanted Protection from
His Wife.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
1t was in the Mayors private office, and the
Mayors private secretary sat in solitary
grandeur. There entered short, pinched-face
man about five feet four inches. He was kind of
lame all over. He seemed to haye an ache IN
each bone and each ache took its turn to let
him have it, and he had IL. Mr.. Moulder looked

Before his departure last Saturday, DIR.
Parker was asked by reporter how he was
pleased with his visit to America "But

The New Senator from Florida.
From Ne LollisriLLe Colrier. .LnnrnnL

From the Louisville C0urter-,journdL.
Senator Pasco, of Florida, the successor of
the eccentric Jones from the land of flowers,
is one of those whom there is much desire TO
see. Much of this curiosity is occasoned be-
cause of the long and desperate struggle in the
Florida Legislature between the friends of ex-
Gov. Bloxham aud Gov. Perry when. to settle
the controversy, Mr.. Pasco, then Speaker of the
won the stakes.
One Of the striking characteristics of the
newly elected Senator is his extreme modesty.
He could put TO shame upon this point the most
bashtul OF girls. He is small in stature and
has the appearance more of typical Louisiana
creole than an Englishman by birth The Sem
ator is older than he appears He does not look
TO be over 10, when IN fact he is past so. He
was born IN England, but came to this country
with his parents at an early age. and lived until
he had finished his education In Massachusetts,
just before the breaking out of the war he
went TO Florida, where he has lived since.

Rest.

Toll out, ye beIlsl sound midnight through the

Wear out great Time with clashes everywhere
wait yea long, for rest.
Strive on, stop not, we fingermark of woe;
Haste We, we shades OH let the sunlight O;
Wing past, ye hours life is too sad and slow -
wait, yea long, for rest.
Bud forth, ye flowers let spring and summer

Bend down. we sheaves, let autumn, too, go by;
Cold blow, ye winds, another winters nigh

Rest cometh not, rest is not for the young;
Rest liveth not it lies the grave among
Rest comes to age so yonder death-bells sung
wait, yea long, for rest.
Rest cometh not with worldly JOY and mirth;
Rest cometh not until the souls new BIRTH
Rest cometh not until we die to earth
Then coneth rest indeed.
Death clasps our lives, stealeth them carefully;
Rest guards our souls now lying peacefully,
Closeth our lips, which murInur thankfully

The new Congressional Directory, with
its photographed sketches of the Sena-
tors and Representatives, furnishes some
very good reading. The memtNs generally
make prominent their war records when
they have any worth speaking of. Mr..
Burnett, of Massachusetts,, makes much ado
about the fact that he married the only
child of James Russell LOWELL Gen.
Weaver, the Iowa Greenback Congressman,
declares himself a Democrat. Senator
Brown, of Georgia, takes more than a half
page to exploit his political career He
writes that he was "a secessionist in 1860"
but during the war he opposed the policy
of President Davis on the conscript act, y
and adds that in 1868 he was defeated as a
Republican candidate for the Senate,
(which was the only defeat of his life;"
that in every instance where he has been a
candidate before the people he has been sue
cessful. "a fine commentary ON public de-
votion to principle" says the Baltimore
Herald, "for Brown has belonged to all
political parties and has been true to none"
The Herald deals rather roughly with the
Georgia Senator.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1887
Mr.. Berry and Plymouth Church.


The refusal of Rev. Charles A. Berry, of
England, to accept the pastOrate Of Ply
mouth church was not entirely unexpected,
since some inklings of it had been given
through the press, but it was nevertheless
somewhat of a surprise, for there are not
many cergymen who would decline call
to fill the pulpit made famous by Mr..
Beecher. Plymouth church is rather I'M
pretentious structure, so far as architecture
goes, but it has very prominent place IN
the religious world.
Mr.. Beechers long and brilliant pastorate
was the means of building it up in an extra
ordinary degree. Its reputation is not con
fined to this country. A call from
Plymouth is a distinction which would
crafty the pride of the most eminent
preachers. In addition, the membership is
very wealthy, and from a pecuniary point
of view the position is one Of great desira-
bility.
When the church went to England for a
pastor, notice was served that there
was no one on this side of the Atlantic who
could satisfactorily fill the place made va
cant by Mr. Beechers death. OF the preach
ers who have preached trial sermons Mr..
Berry was the most acceptable, and it was
thought that in calling him the loss to the
church had been in q great measure re-
paired. His declination makes a second
choice more difficult, perhaps, than the first,
for, after looking over the clergymen in this
country and England, he alone seems to
have been thought capable of giving salts
faction.
Mr. Berry's decision could not have been
made from selfish motives, for the pastorate
he has refused to give up does not give him
the same degree of prominence that
Plymouth would have given him, and
probably the pay is not as good. The home
influence doubtless had much to do in bring
ing about the decision, and the plea made
by members of his congregation and by lead
ers in English national life that his services
were indispensable in the struggle between
religion and irreligion in England appealed
to his sense of patriotism; and while his re-
fusal is deplored by Plymouth church, it
rebounds to his credit The same qualities
that would make him desirable pastor here
are needed at home, and the general disap-
pointment in religious circles ought to be
allayed by the reflection that his acceptance
would likely have occasioned suffering to
the cause in England. Plymouth can no
doubt find an acceptable pastor in this
country

WARNER WENT KITING.
Remarkable Conduct of Tree Which
He Was Converting Into Firewood.

From the NeU York Sun.
BRlDGEwATER, Dec. 11.-Horace Warner, a
farmer, met with strange accident one day
recently. A large oak tree stood on a high
bluff on his farm overlooking the Housatonic.
The heavy rains washed the soil away around it,
and one day the top became too heavy for the
roots to hold up and it fell over away from the
river Mr. Warner found it lying upon the
ground, and as coal is high he determined to
cut it up for his fireplace.
He began at the top and Topped off some of
the smaller limbs and brush. Then he mounted
the trunk and cut away larger limb. He
had just severed it when he was astonished to
find himself flying through the air directly over
the river. The tree, relieved of its weight, had
sprung back into its original position. and Mr.
waters of the Housatonic and managed to
reach the bank with nothing more than a severe
weIting. What he mourns over is the loss of
as fine an AK as ever was swung handle.
1t followed him into the river but where it fell
Mr. Warner was too much occupied to see.

The Acquittal OF M. Wilson.

The dismissal of the charges against NJ Will
son would seem to indicate either that there
was no foundation for them, and that they
were trumped up for the purpose of attack
ing M. Grevy and getting him out of office,
or that it was tacitly understood that if M.
Grevy would resign the charges against
NJ. Wilson would not be pressed If NJ
Wilson were guilty he should have been
punished. To excuse him was to put a pre-
MUM on crime. Why should NJ Wilson be
excused while other criminals are punished!
If he were not guilty the fact should have
been publicly stated in order that the inn
preston might not prevail that there is one
law for the rich and another for the poor.
The truth appears to be that France is
drifting toward point where little respect
will be paid to law. President Carnot has
already threatened to resign because of the
efforts to obstruct him in his work of form
ing Cabinet. In fact, it was this threat
alone which induced M. Tirard, the present
Prime Minister, to proceed with the work of
completing a Ministry.
The prediction is freely made that the
Carnot government will not last month,
and there is some foundation for it. The
Deputies may find some satisfaction in up
setting governments, but they must recog-
nize that every time the government is
changed the less the respect for il is, and
that finally the only government that can
be maintained will be one not erected by
peaceable means nor based upon common
consent.

Rev. Mr.. Berry's letter to his church, de-
claring his intention of remaining in En-
gland, must have been a very tantalizing
document 1t covered considerable ground
before coming to the point, and the natural
deductions TO be made from hearing it read
were, first, that they did not know whether
he would remain; second, that he would not
remain; third, that he would remain. The
decisive words came with suddenness that
must have been perilous to people with
heart disease Mr.. Berry understands the
art Of producing dramatic effects.

A queer advertisement got into the Macon
Telegraph yesterday. 1t was to the effect
that a marriage between parties of high

important case pending in the Superior
Court, presumably that of Tom Voolfolk
